Calculate the pH of a buffer that is 0.13 M in lactic acid and 0.10 M in sodium lactate. Express your answer using two decimal places.

pH of the buffer is 3.75

Explanation:

It is possible to find pH of a buffer using Hendersson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

Where [A⁻] is molar concentration of the conjugate base and [HA] concentration of the weak acid

In the lactic buffer, pKa = 3.86. Lactic acid is the weak acid and its conjugate base is tha lactate salt. H-H equation for this buffer is:

pH = 3.86 + log [Lactate] / [Lactic acid]

Replacing with the concentrations of the problem:

pH = 3.86 + log [0.10M] / [0.13M]

pH = 3.75

the answer is minerals.

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
